This report talks about Baseline Configuration Selection, Voyager Task C

This report gives summaries for the reactor plant operations, fuel and target fabrication, technical activities, advanced concepts and planning, and irradiation services. A feature report is included which describes the following: (1) the safety and control rod systems of the production reactors; (2) the problems which have developed with them; and (3) the corrective rod channel renovation and rod modification work which has been accomplished.

This report provides preliminary design and specification information to fabricate a compact Weapons Effects Display System. The system is capable of calculating and displaying the effects of thermal flux, radiation, and blast pressure from a nuclear weapon. EG&G was asked to evaluate analog computer logic of an existing Weapons Effects Display System (WEDS), make the necessary changes and develop preliminary specifications to fabricate a more compacted system. Also included was to design any new circuits required to make the system more accurate, and design new circuits to provide additional features as specified by LRL. The WEDS consists of an analog computer to compute the effects of thermal flux, radiation and blast; a display system for displaying the pertinent digital information; and a map display system for presenting certain information on a map. The weapon effects are represented by equations taken from ``The Effects of Nuclear Weapons,`` by S. Glasstone, other nuclear weapon effects documents, and from individuals working in the nuclear weapon field. These equations are solved with the use of an analog computer. The equation results, along with pertinent input information, are displayed on a digital readout panel and as an overlay on a map display system. The compact …

SNAP 10FS-3 was the first flight-qualified SNAP reactor system to be operated in a simulated space environment. Prestart-up qualification testing, automatic start-up, endurance period performance, extended operation test and reactor shutdown are described as they affected, or were affected by, overall reactor performance. Performance of the reactor control system and the diagnostic instrumentation is critically evaluted.

The power of some SRP fuel assemblies is limited by the burnout safety factor (BOSF) in some applications. This power limitation is unnecessarily restrictive, because the current conservatism in predicting film boiling burnout is unusually large compared to that in predicting unstable flow in fuel assemblies. In the past, most SRP fuel assemblies operated at the flow instability limit and were far enough removed from burnout that a convenient and very conservative burnout limit system could be used. If the same degree of safety was used for both burnout and flow instability, the power of BOSF-limited assemblies could be increased. This memorandum, which is part of the program to improve the system for protection against burnout, evaluates the probability and consequences of burnout at various BOSF levels.

The objective of this test is to determine the comparative corrosion behavior of the standard fuel given special autoclave treatments with fuel given standard autoclave treatment.
